At 10:00 am, Han and Tyler both started running toward each other from opposite ends of a 10 mile path along a river. Han runs at a pace of 12 minutes per mile Tyler runs at a pace of 15 minutes per mile how far does Han run after a half hour explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

2.5 miles 30Ă·12=2.5

Answer:

2.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total length of path=10 mile

Han runs at a pace=12 minutes per mile

Tyler runs at a pace=15 minutes per mile

We have to find the distance run by Han after a half hour.

Half hour=30 minutes

Using unitary method

Han runs distance in 12 minutes=1 mile

Han runs distance in 1 minute=[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] mile

Han runs distance in 30 minutes=[tex]\frac{1}{12}\times 30=2.5[/tex] miles

Hence, Han runs 2.5 miles after half hour.
